>>4048287I can confirm they are uncropped, and again it's easy to test yourself.
>By your logic we don't need anything but a wide angle prime, we just crop lolNot at all, I'm a huge advocate of having many lenses, and I'm sorry if that's what you got out of what I was saying. I even said some focal lengths lend themselves better to different framing at different distances. Cropping alone also ignores the differences in things like depth of field / bokeh, which would be different (even if framing and distortion is the same).
Doing some napkin math with 75mm on FF and 35mm on FF, and cropping to match the same framing leaves the 35mm shot at about 5mp (from a 24mp camera). Certainly small by today's standard, but still plenty for most usage today (Instagram, internet, etc). If 50mm on FF is acceptable enough in terms of distortion for you, then OP would have much more resolution to work with too. I'm not at all saying OP should just shoot wide and crop in like crazy.
Those images I posted above are 24-35mm no cropping, so OP would have the full 24mp if that type of portrait / framing works for them.
>We are trying to avoid distortion WHILE being at a reasonable distance from your subject.If they'd have to be 15ft away for acceptable distortion to you, they'd still have to be 15ft away regardless of the lens.
I was trying to make two main points for OP:
1. It's a common misconception (that you also believe) that focal length is the cause of the distortion in portraits, when it is in fact subject distance.
2. 35mm (equiv in FF) is totally suitable, and widely used, for portraits. Not so much headshots, but could still be used in a pinch for that if really needed (and 5-10mp was enough).
More than happy to link dozens of articles that go over this if you still don't believe me.
